Nope, he loved to sleep. We woke him every 4 hours by getting him naked and putting a wet washcloth on his tummy if needed. Now at 2 weeks hes starting to wake on his own every 3 hours.

For the first few days, we had to undress him to wake him up and eat. After that, he went through a crazy growth spurt and has fed on demand ever since.

Skin to skin will usually help to wake them. You really shouldn't wait anymore than 3 hours this early on. I used wet wash clothes to wake him up.

I cuddled her and stuck a boobie in her mouth and she would just start nursing. The hospital staff was pretty adamant about nursing frequently or they'd supplement so I made sure I did it and wrote it...

I followed her cues, which usually meant more often than that. But no way in hell would I wake up a healthy baby to eat! Hunger doesn't have to be taught, they know when they are and when they aren't!

That first night we were really good about feeding him every 2 hrs because they were concerned about his blood sugar because of his weight. One time he wouldn't wake up so the nurse told us to undress...
